I'd guess that. If you only installed it, then it still has it's own default settings. Oh and btw. if I crank everything up and default UT, lighting and all... single digits...

Word Not Allowed, are you editing your posts as there is more information contained within some now, than when i 1st read them. I know, REX was something i bought when i had my last rig (before switching to a laptop for university) so it will be older. The overdrive one sounds good from what i hear on various threads. I might loose my 'unique' atmo if i upgrade though ;)

Yeah, I am - old habit, sorry. That explains it. Nah, all stays on default, what you have with your atmo is something else. I managed to get colors, but you also have weather there and possibly ENBseries? Overdrive only adds those HD themes and all. You can still choose Pristine Tropics, just as I did previously to test.

Seriously, less than 10 FPS on your system? im guessing some compromising still needs doing then to achieve what i aim for..
Yeah. That was all cranked up, bloom, traffic from UT, traffic in FSX... not a "real" situation what one uses with FSX. It's a wish situation, that's for sure, but noone can run that. Well, you can but you won't be happy with the fluidity.

I use REX's real world weather, which then loads about 30 seconds in to starting a flight in FSX.. I did run ultimate settings on this laptop and as i put in the 1st post i managed 2-5 FPS. 2.2ghz i3 CPU mind you!

Yeah, I did read that. The settings in FSX do not make this apparently.Colors atmo: weather + REX colors + possibly other addons like ENBColors buildings: no idea, except from what Aerosoft made, and that is different here. Also that red-orange light patch is a mystery for me.

I don't know what ENB is? The blue only appears at dawn, not at dusk so perhaps a glitch.. The red lights must just be excessive light bloom..

I tried to get the blue... but to no avail.Could you save the situation where you get the blue and then email it? (I'll PM you the message in the morning if you can, now good night) :)

I sent you the PM. Did you manage to send the files?

  • Author

SOrry Word Not Allowed. Been very busy with work. I'll open up FSX now once i have installed Mega Cities X San Fran, and Mega Airport Lisbon.. They both arrived today. Once i have the situation set up, what files do you require. The standard FSX saved file wouldn't suffice or would it?

Just use a default aircraft, then those saved files will suffice (flt, fssave, wx)
PS any way to emove the duplicated (mis placed) tower over in Brooklyn? The 1 with sloped roof...
How do you figure it's misplaced? If you mean that you think the building shouldn't be there you are incorrect. In the real world their is a building in Brooklyn with a sloped roof owned by Citibank. It was located to line up with their similarily designed HQ in Manhattan.
